Holly's Notes:
My son and his girlfriend gave me the most adorable Hot Chocolate Bar and mug for my birthday last year. I enjoy a cup of hot chocolate every evening, regardless of the weather.

I wanted a homemade hot chocolate mix that I could do at home and after looking at a few different ones, came up with this one. I like less sugar and milk than most call for. 

My  preference is Ghirardelli bars for the chopped chocolate. Although I have also used Lindor.

I also add a little extra chocolate piece to each cup: a Ghirardelli square (mint, caramel). Or an Andes mint wafer. I stock up on candy canes at Christmas and add a bit of that for mint flavor. You could add cinnamon red hots for different flavor.

If you like marshmallows, add those.
